Obi-Wan CONFIRMS Who is More Powerful - Maul or Dooku 

I'm surprised that he didn't mention that Dooku defeated 3 night sisters while they were invisible and he was drugged

Dooku is the single most underrated character. We deserve a series or short movie about him

Dooku is the most underrated SW villian. Also - Cristopher Lee was the only SW cast actor who actively practiced Real life sword combat, and literally were a war veteran. When Brit Queen granted him knighthood, she knew that this time - it wasn't just a fancy title (looking at u Elton John) His fencing style the most awesome bc: 1) it looks very elegant. 2) it closest to what a real saber/rapier fencing looks like

Dooku is clearly an underrated character

Maul was powerful, but he barely ever used the force in more abundant ways, while Count dooku was all over the place, with the force and a lightsaber.

Sidious was so worried about Dooku becoming a rival / enemy that he recruited him as an ally rather than ever confront him with intent to kill. That speaks for itself

In clone wars you could see how much more serious obi wan took dooku than maul

Count dooku couldn't Show his true power because he wasn't allowed to kill Anakin

Bear in mind that Maul was cut down before, debatably, he even entered his prime. He was three years younger than Obi-Wan and was 22 years old when he fought him and Qui Gon. Whilst Maul was in his physical prime at that point, a force user has far further to rise as they continue to attune themselves to the Force throughout their lives. Dooku was the greater no question but had several more decades to hone his abilities, and he had the wisdom of both the light and dark sides of the Force to draw from. Did Maul have those advantages? That Maul could even be a threat to old masters, even after spending a couple decades as a deranged lunatic, shows how miraculous he was in his own way.

Like we needed Obi-wan to tell us..He beat Maul the first time he met him, Dooku beat Obi-wan and Anakin at the same time a few times..

I strongly think that Dooku would be more than able to defeat Maul! Although a capable duelist, Maul fights purely with his emotions, whereas Dooku is more tactical in his fighting, he knows what he needs to do and how to get it done!!

I would say Dooko, maul is so rage filled, and sometimes this is good, but can be blind to counter strikes, and others, also Dooko was one of the lead Sepraratists

yeah the only "weakness" Dooku has imo is his age. he wasn't getting any younger. but as a duelist, and most importantly, as a character, he is absolutely a master. brute force is not enough to win, especially coupled with arrogance. and i do not think he went all out vs Anakin during the Battle of Coruscant either. he was told not to by Sidious. by the time he saw himself loosing, it was too late. he ALLOWED Anakin to gain the upper hand, and it was his aging body that prevented him from countering him successfully, if he even tried to, that is.

dooku is underrated in my opinion. Probably because of his lack of screen time in the movies. but his time in the clone wars show made up for it. But if we were to get a movie or a mini series on how he became disillusioned with the Jedi and the republic, that would be cool. It seems like a pretty compelling story.

Dooku was the only one capable to be consistent to the level of being able to withstand Obi-wans highground.

I am a huge Darth Maul fan. And even I can't see a single area of lightsaber combat or force skill where Maul beats Dooku. If the two fought 1000 times, I can see Dooku winning 950 times.

I think there is one *incredibly* crucial aspect that ultimately makes Maul more dangerous. Yes, Dooku reached a level of skill that Maul never seemed to achieve, but I think ultimately Maul had the greater potential of the two. Dooku spent a very long lifetime mastering his abilities, but Maul was able to learn new skills at an insanely fast pace. You covered how ridiculously fast Maul picked up fighting styles here, but another aspect of his fast learning was manipulation. (As far as I know) Sidious trained Maul to be an assassin, not a Sith Lord, or politician. He didn't train Maul to manipulate people, or entire populations. Maul literally picked it up just from observing his master and instantly put his skills to use once he set out on his own. I mean think about it, with no training in the area, Maul manipulated his way onto the throne of Mandalore, home of the best fighting force in the entire galaxy aside from the Jedi. And he had assembled a crime network that was quickly expanding throughout the neutral systems. At a time when neither Sidious or the Jedi could have devoted all their strength to him (*all* of Sidious' strength would have been a Republic army as well as himself and Dooku), Maul placed himself in a position to gain a nearly equal level of potential power. In two ways Sidious recognised that he had to kill Maul the second Maul was learning too fast. One was when Sidious travelled to Mandalore to deal with Maul himself and prevent him from conquering the neutral systems, as discussed above. Another was in their direct duel. Initially, Sidious is dominating both Maul and Savage Oppress, Maul's brother and apprentice. Sidious even kills Savage in a way that looked like he was obviously showing off. He was toying with the pair just so he could piss off Maul and satisfy himself with the fight. Then he goes 1v1 with Maul, and strangely, despite no longer having help, Maul is doing better. I think he initially planned to toy with Maul. He was effectively sparring with him, when he could have just picked Maul up with the Force and ended the fight immediately. He did this because he saw no risk. But the longer the duel became, the more Maul gained the upper hand, until he manages to kick Sidious hard enough to send him flying. When Sidious looks up, he is visibly enraged. This was not part of the plan. Sidious cuts the duel short by grabbing Maul with the Force, because he is for a moment afraid Maul could actually kill him. What can we gather from this? Even to a moment by moment basis Maul was *extremely* good at adapting to a situation. Sidious underestimated this, and as a result, the longer he toyed with Maul, the better Maul became at fighting him. Now something very important is Maul spent a massive amount of his life out of commission. He was scavenging for survival on a junk planet after Kenobi cut off his legs, and the implication in Rebels was that he'd been stuck on a Sith planet with nothing to do for many years. If Maul had spent all those missed years, and the ones he did have, studying the Force and practicing fighting skills with the same discipline Dooku honed his skills, then by the time Maul became Dooku's age, I think he could have absolutely crushed either Sidious or Dooku.

If Count Dooku and Darth Maul were given a chance to duel each other, I think Dooku would have the upper hand because he was known to be an elegant swordsman when it comes to lightsaber combat. He fights like an old school swashbuckler.

This video calls for a DEATH BATTLE!

Dooku would hesitate to kill Obi-wan he wouldn't with Maul.

I feel as though that version of windu which dooku defeated was a younger version rather than his prime but that is still impressive regardless

I havent watched the video but one of my favorite character is Dooku his whole character and form is elegant Yep dooku is stronger just as i thought

I feel that Ray Parks performance and choreography made this character demand a great and powerful cannon

I mean the two times Obi-Wan fights Dooku in the movies he gets clapped, meanwhile Maul catches a fade every time they scrap lol

Dooku was to my recollection the only Sith who wasn't a Palpatine to use force lightning in the live action.

Dooku also had achieved advanced manipulation of the Force. In the clone wars, he started to learn Sith Alchemy.

I believe that Maul had a potential to become equally as powerful as Dooku, he never became though because of his defeat on Naboo and years of craziness while being stranded. After Savage found him, and later, He still was a powerful warrior, never as powerful as Dooku though since no one really continued his training in the way Sidious would.

I completely agree. I'm hoping when they finally do a Darth Plagueis/ young Sidious series or film, one of the main characters should also be Dooku. I love the idea that he could be the guy on the Jedi Council who sensed things were afoot but was ignored and from there we could see how he took his steps towards the Dark side. I love the idea of a scene where Dooku and a still fairly young Sidious get into it and Dooku gets the better of him but Sidious is saved by Plagueis and just when it looks like Plagueis is about to kill him, he spares Dooku's life and says something like " Perhaps you can be of use....." Setting up perfectly for them to begin their manipulation and gradual implosion of the Jedi. Awesome!

I think the main difference is; When Maul was defeated in episode 1, his power was still growing. When Dooku was defeated in episode 3, his power was waning. Maul was still young and largely self-taught. Dooku was trained at a early age by Yoda and it wasn't like how we see Yoda teaching the kids in the prequals, he was one-on-one trained like Qui-gon did with Obi-wan or Obi-wan with Anakin. Dooku's understanding of form 2 is probably at levels close to if not succeeding the ancient jedi whoever it was that invented it. I believe that Dooku started to lose his power after falling to the dark side. Dooku turned, not because of allure of power which many so often do; he turned because he pointed out flaws within the order and was betrayed by it. Not only was he plagued with an aging body, but a broken spirit as well. Darth Maul's 5 years of whatever a sith calls "training" can't compare to Dooku's decades of formal training in the jedi order, the quality of which being higher than what we see during the prequals because the order was in a much healthier state. Funny, I imagine the underlying zeitgeist of the order is probably reflected within the life cycle of Count Dooku. Right up until they meet physically. When both are slain by Anakin. I wonder if that was intentional?

10:08 absolutely systematically dismantle her 🤣🤣🤣😂😭 so much detail

Obi Wan Vs Count Dooku: "Qui-Gon thought you that move didn't he?" "Yes He did, why?" "BECAUSE I'M THE ONE WHO THOUGHT IT TOO HIM" *Palpatine laughs in the background*

I think Dooku was the stronger Sith. Maul lost himself in his rage. Being a sith means that he has to use other skills like being able to resist feights.

We need to see more characters with lightsabers similar to Darth Maul’s from Rebels

A key point in how well Maul would fight would depend on if you mean his younger self, adult self or older self as that in and of itself would determine the full range of abilities and skills he could use.

Count Dooku's name constantly comes up as such an accomplished jedi. Seeing more of his story and adventures as a jedi and his fall into the dark side would be amazing. That could be a 3 part epic in itself-his young adventures, his rise to elite, and his fall from grace. It sounds like a Skywalker story but could be epic nonetheless. Even animated as a side story would be cool.

I think Maul would try to intimidate Dooku with his saber but Dook would just ignore it and rush Maul

Dooku, whether it was with the Force or a Lightsaber, he was always elegant and graceful. Maul was strong and powerful but also brutal. Consider this; Vader is a combination of the "best" Dark side traits of both, power and precision. How about this thought: What if Sidious had corrupted Dooku when he was in his late 20s or early 30s? If Sidious felt old Dooku was a threat to him, how would he feel about a Dooku in his prime?

"You fool! I've been trained in your Jedi arts by Count DOOK NIPPLES!"

Darth Tyrannus is very precise while Darth Maul relies heavily on brute force.

"You would pit your blades against mine? Against me who has commanded star systems?!" - Dra... erm, Dooku

Duku always frightened me the most. Such a confident, powerful character who absolutely projected his superiority over you with body language alone. Just scared me to the core as a kid

Dooku is such an interesting character. You can see he is a sith lord, but it's very rare for him to let his anger out, he's always so elegant and controlled. You can feel that he is different from sith like Maul, he isn't controlled by his anger, it's the other way around

In my opinion, it all comes down to Dooku's old age. This is the one and only reason that we even consider who would be better. Dooku was in his 80's more or less, and keep in mind that the dark side carries a great toll on the body, especially a hunan body. I think that, if Dooku was in his 50s even the chosen one would find it extremely difficult to overpower him...

Didn’t Kenobi also duel Windu to a stalemate in one of the novels? I remember there being a whole thing about how Windu could never use Vapaad effectively against Kenobi because Kenobi’s style was all defense (as we know, he’s THE master of soresu, according to Windu). Kenobi had no aggression, no dark side energy for Windu to be able to channel back at him… So they just dueled endlessly until Windu gave up.

At last, The answer we have all been waiting for.

Dooku also had the obvious benefit of knowing all the combat styles used by the Jedi, and thus being able to counter them.

Darth Maul: "I can only be beat by tier 1 opponents!" Count Dooku: "I got this then!"

Dooku in his prime vs anakin in his prime would be dope to watch

I like them both, can't decide, they're both great!

The clone wars really showed how good and powerful of a character dooku was I love both but I think dooku is stronger

I do agree that Dooku was superior to Maul. Even disregarding raw power, Maul was much too emotional, which has proved to be a weakness time and time again.

Maul had speed, power, and aggression on his side, Dooku on the other hand had patience and outright finesse. Maul fought like a runaway freight train, Dooku kind of fought like a pack of wolves by sizing up his enemy or enemies and waiting for the right time to go for the kill.

I like how almost every video whomever they're talking about is one of the most powerful lol

Dooku all the way, you forgot to mention his skill and magnitude in wielding offensive force powers, i just imagine how strong he would have been in his prime with the dark side as his ally

Great vid, dude. Really enjoyed it!

Imagine if they worked together they would be unstoppable

Dooku thinks that maul is an ignorant beast Maul thinks that Dooku is a Sith pretender

I would have loved to have seen dooku vs sidious in a lightsaber duel

11 minutes of video. Only 2 minutes of main content. Reminds me of my exams where I didn’t know that much but yet wrote things just to elongate.

As a martial artist I know that vigilant focus defeats passionate rage every time. Question for you....I have heard some say that Dooku deliberately lost, or was told to lose to Anakin in episode 3. Do you, or any other commenters believe Anakin fair and square defeated Dooku or was the duel thrown by Dooku?

When watching multiple of your videos to the topic of dueling skills and the like in a row, it seems that basically any character who was able to use the force and who wasn't the Jedi Librarian or some deranged, failed clone has been one of the greatest duelists of their time. 🤔🍻

I think Maul would absolutely be able to beat, or atleast hold his own, against Dooku if he had ever learned to not be so cocky. It lost him his legs, and eventually his life, but he would've been far stronger had he not gotten so cocky as to lost half his body and never learned his lesson. Dooku mostly beats him because of his ability to stay focused, on point and maintain precise form. Maul is wild and violent and isn't precise, which is why one should be very careful when going up against him because he's so hard to keep up with, but with Dooku, it's harder to handle because he can so easily pick you apart if you're not careful.

Dooku obviously wins.. BUT, if we were given the true third trilogy that George Lucas wanted, where darth Maul returns, then I think Maul would have leveled up big time by then. And Luke and Maul would have had the best Star Wars duel of all time. If only Disney didn’t screw us all and write some BS about an overpowered girl for feminism and a pointless black character with no relevance to show they aren’t racist.

In the movies Dooku was much more interesting than Maul. One had much more dialogue, the other was mainly a menacing presence. Dooku proved his force power and skills with the light saber. Maul let still a padawan Obi-wan Kenobi best him.

Dooku so powerful, he made Anakin believed he killed him but truth is that he only force project that scene so Dooku could go back to Tolkien's universe and work back as Gandalf to kill the Balrog

Thanks for the 10 mins of trying to tell us something simple when it can be done in 1 min. Love it ❤

I mean, when you take force powers out of the equation, you can make a case for dooku being the greatest duelist perhaps ever. A true fencer and supreme 1v1 combatant

Dooku's fighting style is just more effective. All he needs is one opening, which he can either wait for or create systemetically. This allows him to defeat duelists with the same or even greater skill than himself. Maul uses acrobatics and power which demolishes less skilled opponents, but can be countered and looked through by more passive and insightfull opponents such as Kenobi, Ahsoka, and honestly a lot of other fighters. I believe even Fisto and Plo Koon would defeat him because of this, they would all exploit Maul's overconfidence. That Dooku would defeat Maul is a given. Maul's skill is also his downfall, since he knows he's a better fighter he fights without considering the possibility of losing. If you don't consider how one may defeat you, you're not gonna anticipate the defeating blow. See duel with Obi-Wan in TPM and with Ahsoka in Mandalore, and again against Obi-Wan in Rebels. Three examples of this. Anakin makes the same mistake in his duel against Obi-Wan by the way.

Dooku runs, Dooku hides. That's why his life was long.

Awesome Vid 🖤

I think maul could win. Maybe not in a straight duel, but you have to remember; maul especially in later appearances was not against going with underhanded means to win.

i completely agree

That's actually kind of a tricky question. Because they are both more powerful than each other in specific ways. If they weren't fighting to the death. I think it would be a draw. But if they were fighting to the death. I think dooku would have taken the win. However with just one little mistake. Mall would when the engagement. Just ask qui-gon. He got distracted because when he turned up the juice. He had a vision of Anakin and therefore Darth Vader. And was momentarily distracted. Which was all it took for them all to win. Great analysis. Great video.! 👍

Love that word UPPER ECHELON 🤗🪅

so many people always underrate dooku but he really was one the best fighters he had some of the best shows of his skill in clone wars of course. i loved the fight when ventress & the night sisters went to assassinate him when he was sleeping, they poisioned & basically blinded him and he was still fighting with such focus feeling where their energy was even 3 on 1. mother talzin said the two warriors to go with her were the 2 most powerful she had too she also made them invisible in case they couldnt poison him i guess and to infiltirate his castle without being detected. but still they failed. earlier in the episode before going back to mother talzin ventress was slightly injured & didnt do bad on her own against anakin And obi wan, at one point she almost had them both in a force choke until dooku had his ship open fire on the ship they were on & she dropped them. but she clearly was not a match for dooku so i think anyone comparing obi wan with maul should be taking that into account when saying dooku would not of been better than him or maul. only reason he never beat anakin is because sidious wouldnt let him. sadly he just didnt realise why until it was too late I would love to see a story one day like the point of view ones they have done in the past. have a point of view from inside dookus own mind from being a jedi all the way through changing his attitude & falling to the darkside to his end that would be interesting

Good Dooku is always going to be my favorite up there with Malgus, Malak, Sion, and Vader. Out of the movies Dooku remains my all time favorite. Still love Maul too but Christopher Lee is elegant and superb and made Dooku what he is.

Leno I killed Maul as a padawan, got squished by furniture while fighting with someone as a Jedi Master fighting Dooku. That kinda tells.

I loved how Christopher Lee played dooku in the prequels. It's also a throwback to his previous rôles, in which he played Count Dracula in the Hammer movies from the 70s. Another famous Star Wars character and actor, Peter Cushing (Grand Moff Tarkin), played in these movies as well, as professor Van Hellsing.

Had he not been defeated and injured, Maul would have surpassed Dooku, Palpatine, and all the council.

Idk if maul was more patient and wasn't so cocky, I'd like to think that he could have beaten dooku

I just realized obi wan fended off all three of palpatines apprentices over his jedi carrer

Dooku was such a good duelist, he could've drawn maul in and waited for him to make a reckless attack, then counterattack him.

Dooku is way too sick and underrated. He definitely takes it

Excellent sir! Your channel is a light to me in these dark times. Well done🤘SKOL!

is this even a question lol. maul is my favourite character, but dooku is in another league .

1:09 LOL we had There was a list in a book that listed a few sith it ranked maul above dooku. In the clone wars (show) why do you think sidius didnt sent dooku to deal with maul and savage? Because Maul was superior.

"You are about to experience true swordsmanship"

In Legends Dooku clearly was the one with more potential Plagueis noticed it as did Sidious but Maul was still very useful as a weapon like Grievous was in Canon Maul was the one with more potential but lost it once cut in half and missing a decade of training even with Talzins magical juice he was not as powerful as Dooku Maul by himself was not a threat to Sidious but Maul having the aid of Talzin and Savage was yeah

Makes it even more impressive that ahsoka is said to be on count dooku's power level by the time of Rebels

Also, in the ROTS novelization, Kenobi single-handedly gave Dooku a lot of trouble aboard the invisible hand when he switched from form IV to form III… It took Dooku using that dark side energy summon ability (and probably some help through the force from Palps across the room tbh) to be able to knock Kenobi out of the fight. That way, he could just focus on Skywalker. But without that, Kenobi had become defensively unbreakable, and Dooku was questioning whether he could actually take him down, lightsaber-to-lightsaber…

Can you do one obi wan vs mace windu ?

Thank you for this now people can chill out thanking Maul is more powerful than Dooku

"Chancellor Palpatine, Sith Lords are our specialties" Gets thrown around by Dooku, TWICE!Lol!😆😆😆😆 Gotta love Obi Wan!

The fact that in the novelization of Revenge of the Sith that Dooku feared Kenobi more and knocked him out of the battle because of this should be all you need to say. Kenobi was becoming the S tier duelists that everyone feared toward the end of the Clone Wars. I bet if he had a third battle against Dooku and alone, he would have bested him.

I still think that maul had a lot of potential who he didn't used

Fun fact. The guy who played Dooku was in a metal band at the age of 93 ;D He did stuff with Rhapsody of Fire and Charlemagne. Christopher Lee's life was INSANE. Seriously everyone should look this up

Maul was taught the basics of all seven forms but mastered: Ataru, Niman, and Juyo. Not to mention he was also proficient in Jar'Kai and Teras Kasi. A great example of Maul’s abilities, were when he took on both Mace Windu and Aayla Secura at the same time, kicking Aayla in the face and blocking a strike from Windu simultaneously; their battle was cut short when a mandalorian fired a missile at the three, but Maul was the only one who jumped out of the way in time. The two Jedi Council Members were incapacitated by the blast, while Maul left unscathed. Maul also overpowered General Grievous twice. The first was when Maul Force Repulsed Grievous’ droid’s away, and then tackled him. The second was when they were in a duel with each other, and Maul Force pushed him out of their fight. Maul was calculating, he would study his opponent before actually engaging them. In some cases, he would examine the location of the upcoming duel and determine the best area for him to kill them. He would train for days on end without food or water to craft his style. Qui-Gon Jinn, one of the Jedi's greatest duelists, and somebody who was trained by Count Dooku, was completely overpowered by Maul during their first duel on Tatooine. On Naboo, Qui-Gon even stated how Maul was so confident and how he was in complete control of the fight. He successfully separated Obi-Wan from Qui-Gon during their duel, even defending against both of them, two of the most skilled Jedi at that time, with little trouble. Maul lured the two to a location of his own choosing during the duel, and the Jedi were helpless against that. Maul was also very disciplined, as shown through his meditation, construction of his saber staff, his pain tolerance, and his mastery of Juyo. . Darth Maul lasted 30 seconds in a one-on-one duel with Sidious, who killed three Jedi Council Members in 10 seconds. Maul completely toyed with, and overwhelmed, three inquisitors in 30 seconds as well, forcing them to retreat, he ended up being responsible for their deaths. . In the Son of Dathomir comics, which is canon, you get to really see how calculating and strategic Maul was. He toyed with multiple different Magna Guards and became an inspiring and heroic figure for the Mandalorians. His strategic plans resulted in the capture and defeat of both Count Dooku and General Grievous, both of which were at a massive advantage and were both brilliant tacticians themselves. So through strategy, Maul defeated both Dooku and Grievous, despite the fact that their army greatly outnumbered his own. Maul brutalized Kenobi and many other Jedi over the course of The Clone Wars. He rose from the ashes and formed The Shadow Collective, a criminal organization made of: Death Watch, the Pyke Syndicate, the Black Son Clan, the Hutts, and the Night Brothers. He created an army in little time, on his own, one that could rival the Separatist and Republic. It was crushed by both and rebel Mandalorians, not to mention Sidious himself. It took a lot to crush Maul's forces, but that wasn't even his end. He then constructed a new criminal empire called the Crimson Dawn, one we know very little about in canon continuity. Maul never cared for learning things like Force Lightning, because he considered it cowardly, and so he focused his powers in the Force in other ways. Hell the guy was born with Sith Eyes on Dathomir. He understands the ancient Sith ways, Nightsister Magic, holocrons, If anything, Maul isn't over exaggerated, he's under exaggerated. Considering that Dooku was killed because he couldn't keep up with Anakin's speed and strength, I believe Maul could beat him. Maul is a master of Form 7, which relies on aggression, speed, control, acrobatics, and unpredictability. Dooku is a master of Form 2, Makashi, which is designed specifically for blade-to-blade combat, and had great precision. However, he was slow and predictable, which Maul would take advantage of. Dooku's only advantage would be Force Lightening, but Maul would be able to tank it. Yes, you can argue that it hurt him in the Son of Dathomir comics, but Maul also escaped the prison afterwards with no difficulty, even saying that he'd become indifferent to pain. One could argue that because Dooku bested Obi-Wan, then he must be superior to Maul, right? Wrong, that argument doesn't work with Star Wars, here's an example for why: Dooku defeated Obi-Wan, Anakin defeated Dooku, Obi-Wan defeated Anakin. Also, in The Phantom Menace, Maul defeated both Qui Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi with relative ease. Maul only lost to Obi-Wan due to his pride, giving Obi-Wan time to kill him. Maul was never shown to have this kind of pride again. Then there was Obi-Wan taking on both Maul and Savage. There are a few reasons why that fight played out the way it did. First, Maul had no difficulty facing off against Obi-Wan before they entered the tunnels, and Savage easily defeated Adi Gallia. Obi-Wan didn't defeat them, he was forced to retreat into the tunnels, and merely SURVIVED them. He was fueled by anger after Gallia's death, as shown when he tried to killed Savage right after. Obi-Wan also used two lightsabers during that duel to take the brothers on. Another big factor that contributed to Obi-Wan performance was his mastery of Ataru and Soresu. Defense and acrobatics. Obi-Wan wouldn't have defeated them had their fight continued, he could only last a long time against them. Maul broke Kenobi's Force Wall pretty easily and slammed against a wall, where he was trapped in a blade lock and visibly struggling. He only escaped because he was in a good position to kick in Savage's knee, and from there he took his arm. Kenobi then jumped at Maul, who Force pushed him farther into the tunnels. Maul had to retreat so that he could help his injured brother. They only lost when an army of pirates started shooting at them as they ran away, that had nothing to do with Kenobi. Then there's Maul's defeat by Kenobi in Rebels. Honestly, I thought that fight was kind of bullshit, but there are some factors that need to be taken into consideration. During that time, Kenobi had been growing in power on Tatooine, while Maul was being hunted by Inquisitors and possibly even Vader. Maul wasn't able to develop, but Kenobi was. . Two incidents in The Clone Wars also indicate how Maul was much greater when compared to Obi-Wan. When Obi-Wan encountered Maul for the first time in the show, he was completely overpowered by Savage within seconds, whom Maul beat within seconds. Then during their one-on-one fight, Maul brutalized Kenobi, who even said that he was outmatched. Then when Obi-Wan saw Maul on Mandalore, Maul just pulled him with the Force and disarmed him immediately. Anyway, it really comes down to a coin flip for who would win: Dooku or Maul? But I'm gonna have to side with Maul for the reasons I've already stated.

hey so if maul stayed with palpatine and become a true sith lord he could have been more powerful than dooku or if darth plagueis killed palpatine he could have trained maul

They both became more powerful than we could possibly imagine.

Dooku wasn't even really corrupted by darkness. He was jaded by the jedi and frustrated by his inability to protect Serrano by himself
